Komunističko osvajanje vlasti na Balkanu: 1944-1947: Rumunija, Bugarska, Jugoslavija
The author problematizes the issue of the sovereignty of states after the Second World War the Balkans. The process of building the structure of government in the Balkans was not freewilling, nor spontaneous, but it was embedded in the new, Cold War order that was gradually being born. Hence, the construction authorities after the war (but certainly before the spring of 1945), must be viewed as a dynamic process which was aligned with the current interests of the Allies and with the situation on the fronts, and not as a "frozen picture", with a predetermined outcome such as during the Cold War period both Soviet and Western European, as well as domestic historiographies formed. Reconsideration the cliché about the communist conquest of power in the Balkans calls into question how the chronology and motive with which the new government was built, as well as the established notion of an exclusive shouts of the Soviets for all the bad things that happened in the observed countries with the arrival of the communists power.
